Nepean Cottage Hospital, Penrith's third hospital, was officially opened on 3 July 1895 by Samuel Lees. The building on the left is the isolation ward which was built in 1910. In 1926 the name of the hospital changed to Nepean District Hospital. The hospital closed in 1956 when a new hospital opened in Derby Street, Kingswood. The old hospital was remodeled and opened as Governor Phillip Special Hospital in 1962.
